There’s certainly a nip in the air and as we hurtle into winter, there’s nothing more comforting than curling up for a long sleep in a warm, cosy bed. According to one survey around half (49%) the population suffers sleepless nights because of the cold. There’s nothing worse than lying in bed shivering. With temperatures usually at their lowest in the early hours, many people find that they are sometimes too cold and uncomfortable to be able to get a good night’s sleep. Here’s some great tips to keep you warm in bed so you get the quality sleep you need: Wear night clothes such as pyjamas or a large T-shirt to keep you warm.

Don’t forget if you’ve ...

Whether it’s a nightcap, a good cuppa or a hot cocoa what you drink before bedtime can be the difference between a good night’s rest and a disturbed one. Read on to find out what the best drinks are to consume before bedtime and how they affect sleep. Hot Cocoa or Chocolate A classic pre-bedtime beverage but hot cocoa isn’t to be confused with hot chocolate. Cocoa is powder without the fat from the cocoa butter whereas ‘drinking chocolate’ is shavings or pellets of chocolate melted and mixed with milk, cream or water. The drawback of hot chocolate is not just the caffeine but the sugar content.  It also contains phenylethylamine, which causes a natural high. Warm milk It’s an age old remedy but calcium is known to aid restful sleep which is why many sleep experts recommend a nice warm mug of milk before bed!
